Investigating the Influence of Karrikins on Seed Germination
de Beer, Josef
American Biology Teacher, v74 n5 p324-329 May 2012
Recent research has identified a karrikin (a butenolide derative) known as 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one, formed from burning cellulose, that stimulates seed germination. Here, I present ideas on how to investigate the influence of karrikins on seed germination in the laboratory.
